EA Sports has finally done it. With the release of the Max 87 Rated Evolution-Inside Edge, EA FC 26 officially takes its first meaningful step toward loosening the power curve. After weeks of conservative upgrades and tight restrictions, this evolution feels like a statement: evolutions are no longer just filler content-they're becoming legitimate endgame tools. Priced at 75,000 coins or 500 FC Points, this paid evolution isn't cheap, but the sheer quality of boosts, playstyles, and flexibility make it one of the most impactful EVOs we've seen all year. More importantly, it hints at where EA wants evolutions to go as we move deeper into Team of the Year and toward the next season. Let's break down why this evolution matters, what it offers, and which players benefit the most. At its core, this evolution targets right-wingers, with boosts heavily focused on pace, shooting, and dribbling, plus smaller improvements to passing. The headline stat is obvious: up to 93 pace, which instantly makes many previously "almost usable" cards feel explosive again. But stats alone don't tell the full story. This evolution introduces a massive shift in playstyle density. For the first time, EA allows a card to reach up to eight base PlayStyles, alongside one PlayStyle+, while still being capped at 87 overall (or 90 after upgrades, depending on the card path). Key PlayStyle Additions: Low Driven Shot (PlayStyle+) Technical Game Changer Tiki Taka Incisive Pass Finesse Shot Base Tech upgrades Weak Foot boost up to 4★ Skill Moves boosted to 5★ That combination is absurdly meta, especially for attacking wide players. Low Driven Shot alone makes this evolution elite, particularly for right-footed right-wingers cutting inside. Add Game Changer and Technical, and suddenly these players feel far more responsive and dangerous in tight spaces. Why PlayStyles Matter More Than Ever One thing EA FC 26 has made crystal clear is that PlayStyles are everything. Raw stats still matter, but PlayStyles define how a player actually feels in-game-how they move, how they shoot, and how consistent they are under pressure. This evolution leans fully into that design philosophy. Even without multiple PlayStyle+ options (which many players hoped for during Team of the Year), the sheer number of base PlayStyles compensates heavily. Eight base PlayStyles on a single evolution is something we simply weren't seeing earlier in the cycle. While it's disappointing that this evolution only includes one PlayStyle+, the overall package still pushes cards into elite-tier territory-especially when combined with five-star skills and high pace. The Overall Rating Jump: A Double-Edged Sword One of the most controversial aspects of this evolution is that many cards end up reaching 90 overall. On one hand, that's exciting. For months, evolutions felt artificially capped, preventing creative builds from competing with promo cards. Seeing EA finally relax those limits feels refreshing.
The Max 87 Inside Edge Evolution is easily one of the best evolutions EA FC 26 has delivered so far. It's not perfect-one PlayStyle+ still feels limiting-but the combination of pace, shooting, dribbling, and PlayStyle density makes it genuinely game-changing. Whether you're upgrading Rashford, reviving an old SBC, or turning Messi into a speed demon, this evolution offers insane value if used wisely.
